Martin Van Buren citáty

Martin Van Buren bol ôsmy prezident Spojených štátov od roku 1837 do 1841. Pred úradom prezidenta slúžil ako ôsmy viceprezident a ako desiaty minister vnútra.

Bol kľúčovým organizátorom Demokratickej strany, vrcholnou osobnosťou dvojstranného systému, a prvým prezidentom, ktorý nemal britský alebo írsky pôvod - bol holandského pôvodu. Bol zároveň prvým prezidentom, ktorý sa narodil už ako americký občan - jeho predkovia sa narodili ešte pred revolúciou. Wikipedia

Martin Van Buren

Inaugural address (1837)

“Present excitement will at all times magnify present dangers, but true philosophy must teach us that none more threatening than the past can remain to be overcome; and we ought (for we have just reason) to entertain an abiding confidence in the stability of our institutions and an entire conviction that if administered in the true form, character, and spirit in which they were established they are abundantly adequate to preserve to us and our children the rich blessings already derived from them, to make our beloved land for a thousand generations that chosen spot where happiness springs from a perfect equality of political rights.”
